Nails! Essie Demure Vixen

I bought this nail polish a while ago but hadn't gotten round to wearing it until now! I did the whole "Go pick me a nail polish" to Tommy and he came down with this. Awesome!

Its such a beautiful colour!!

It has beautiful hidden sparkle in it (click the picture to enlarge). I love having longer nails again!! 

Say hey to my new ring!! One of my birthday presents from Tommy, its from Thomas Sabo :) 

I freaking love it!!!! His name is Henry.

P.S My birthday Isnt until the 1st October

Nails! Using Konad

Konad is a little harder to use than it looks! I had my first go at it tonight, and I had to take it all off then do it again with different polishes. This is the finished result!

Products Used:

Nails Inc Caviar Base Coat

Barry M 161 Vivid Purple

Eyeko Tea Rose
Seche Vite Dry FastTop Coat

I used the Konad M51 Image Plate

From talking to Leanne on Twitter, your best using an opaque colour for the image your pressing onto your nail, which was my first mistake. My second mistake was pressing too hard to lift the image, I found that a lighter hand was easier after about 6 attempts! That and Jo was kind enough to tell me where I was going wrong. Thank you so much girls!!

I will definitely be dabbling more in this area of nail art! I have a load more plates coming so I cant wait to use them! I really need more practice.

Thanks for reading! :) xxxx

My Top 5 Blushes

I love these kinds of posts, so I will show you my top 5 blushes! I might make it into a kind of series, or just simply update different categories when I find 5 of something I like!

As you all know I am a blush addict, It just makes me so happy when I have a nice pretty blush on to warm up/ cool down my face, give my face definition or just plain make me look alive!

Korres Blush - Natural

I love this blush so much!! It just warms up my face without having to reach for a bronzer, it feels like butter and blends to an even finish. I reach for this on my neutral days when I dont want too much colour, but just enough to give me some cheek bones.

Models Own Blush - Warm Glow

Rumoured to be a dupe for Benefit Coralista, which it is by the way, I actually find myself reaching for this more than my Coralista!! I think it actually blends a little better and gives me a beautiful finish. I dont need to use a highlighter when I wear this which is good!

NYX Cream Blush - Golden

A blush that just screams "take me on holiday!!" I wore this a lot this summer and I more than likely still will into winter! It gives a golden, flushed look like you have just been out sunbathing (without the sweatyness). It makes you look like you should be in an editorial with a stripping young man beside you *sigh*. An all time favourite for me I think!

NYX Cream Blush - Natural

An amazing alternative to using a powder blush. It also is not a cream-to-powder finish so it gives an amazing glow without looking greasy or too OTT. As you can see from the below swatch, it is a beautiful 'flush' of colour, and really brightens up your face without looking too pink. I would probably describe it as a "coming in from the cold" sort of colour.

MAC Mineralise Skinfinish - By Candlelight

The best highlighter I have ever used, I know it might not be classed as a blush, but when I have no tan on and I am a pasty ghost-like figure, this gives me a little colour as well! I can go bronze goddess with a tan or a subtle pinky glow for no tan days.  I only need a little at a time as well!

What are your top 5 blushes... any that I need in my life?!
